FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Falling behind early, parading to the penalty box and losing their composure, the Edmonton Oilers find themselves in an all-too-familiar position trailing the Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup Final .

By Tuesday, they were back on the ice for practice, eager to put their worst performance since early in the playoffs behind them.

Dillon Gabriel, Shedeur Sanders focused on making steady improvement at Browns minicamp
BEREA, Ohio — Tuesday's practice was for the rookies, as the Cleveland Browns opened their mandatory minicamp and moved to the next phase of their four-man quarterback competition. Joe Flacco, the old man of the group at 40 years old and 17 seasons of experience, took no reps in competitive drills. Kenny Pickett, who turned 27 last week, was first in the warmup lines and first up in the late-practice red zone drill. But rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders got most of the passing work, and Gabriel was first up when the Browns' first-team offensive and defensive units took the field for the first 11-on-11 work of minicamp. Advertisement The Browns drafted Gabriel in the third round in April and took Sanders 50 picks later in the fifth round. Though the total number of reps the rookies have taken in previous practices open to reporters was close to equal, Sanders has worked only with backups, while Gabriel has mixed in with the starters both in organized team activities and now in full-squad minicamp. As he's done since rookie minicamp in May, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski continues to stress development and teaching points over actual evaluation at this stage of the competition. Sanders told reporters Tuesday that he's not worried about his current place in line. day one done ✅ — Cleveland Browns (@Browns) June 10, 2025 'My goal is to be the best teammate and to be as prepared as I can be,' Sanders said. 'So in every aspect I view things as I've got time — time to be able to grow and mature and be able to understand the ins and outs of defenses, be able to get the good insight from the vets in the (quarterback) room. 'I look at it as a plus. I've got time to actually be able to really have a great understanding of things, and whenever it is time for me to play, then it's time for me to play. But I'm not looking too far into the future about all that. I'm looking at every day in practice. I had some misses out there today that we've got to go in there and correct — reads, getting in and out of drops a little bit faster from under center. So that's the main thing. I'm focused on the small things, and over time, the big things will happen.' Whether Flacco mostly serving as an on-field mentor is a sign that he's leading the competition is open to interpretation. The same goes for just about every other aspect of things. Though the Browns splitting two groups on different practice fields to maximize reps and using linemen in 7-on-7 drills to simulate a crowded pocket has made spring practices at least a little bit unconventional, they're still spring practices. Three quarterbacks are new to the team, and Flacco is returning from a year in Indianapolis following his magical December 2023 run with Cleveland. Advertisement 'Just trying to be intentional about everything,' Stefanski said. 'Certainly, Joe had fewer reps today. That's obviously on purpose, and just trying to find out, get as much of an evaluation on the guys as we can. 'I'm pleased with all the young guys and their development. There's a lot that goes into this, and these guys work extremely hard. There are things in the NFL game that are just different. I think all these guys are making really good progress.' Gabriel was a bit erratic early in Tuesday's practice, but he was more accurate with his throws as the session went on. Gabriel's highlight throw came on a well-placed corner route to Jamari Thrash in a red zone 7-on-7 drill, while Sanders' best throw was probably his first: a deep ball over the middle to Gage Larvadain in the team's early 7-on-7 session. in stride and on time ⌚️ @ShedeurSanders — Cleveland Browns (@Browns) June 10, 2025 'Practice is no different than normal — what we grew up doing and what we did in college,' Sanders said. 'I just feel like I'm back in my element. It's fresh grass, you hear the birds outside, you understand what peace is at this point in life. So I'm back in my element. I'm excited to be here. 'Of course, I feel more comfortable here (now). I would say it is just a mindset, just an adjustment. You've got to go and understand the situation that you're in and be able to approach that and get the best out of it. There's no excuses, because when you get out there, nobody cares how many reps you got whenever you get in the game. Nobody cares if you took a snap before. Everybody cares about production. So that's the main thing when you get out there, you've got to be able to produce.' Gabriel and Sanders said they've relied on Flacco for advice on reading defenses and mastering the playbook. They've both stressed that the quarterback room is more fun than it is competitive, and that all four passers enjoy the process of installing and learning the offense. 'I think for the most part, it's more getting (Flacco and Pickett's) experiences, whether it's a certain concept or what they've done in the past, just as part of a daily routine,' Gabriel said. 'But it's also just shooting the s— and just being the guys, because I think that's when you're able to just connect in the most authentic way.' Advertisement Gabriel said his focus remains on 'continuous improvement' and that he's learning 'every single day.' As the Browns conclude minicamp with practices Wednesday and Thursday, Sanders said his approach remains similar. 'I know every day there's room for improvement in a lot of different areas in my game,' Sanders said. 'So I never feel full. I would say I'm always hungry, and there's a lot of aspects in football that I could get better at. 'It's the weight room. It's knowing the plays. It's physically … throwing different, trying to always get more precise with things. So I feel like I put in my day's work, but I know I'm far from where I want to be.'

New Children's Book Elephant Beach Teaches Kids How to Step Outside Their Comfort Zone
Reviewers have called Devane's book a 'hit at bedtime' and a 'fun, feel-good book for kids of all ages!' Author and educator Christine Devane takes a fun and unique approach to helping shy students succeed in life and the classroom. North Andover, MA - Christine Devane's debut children's book 'Elephant Beach' tells the tale of a young girl whose relaxing day at the beach is quickly turned upside down by rowdy elephants who love to play. 'Elephant Beach' begins with a little girl who quickly brushes off the elephants upon their arrival, seeming annoyed with them and their antics. But once she gives them a chance, she slowly becomes intrigued by their playful nature and later embraces her new friends. 'As a former teacher, I saw how stories could light up a room and help kids connect with big ideas in simple, joyful ways,' said Christine Devane, author of 'Elephant Beach.' 'I wrote this book to encourage children to celebrate differences and try new things. If a child finishes the story feeling a little braver or more open to others, that means everything to me.' Spending over 13 years in early childhood education, with some of that stint in Costa Rica, author Christine Devane is a professional who truly understands young readers and the value of sharing life lessons through fiction. 'Elephant Beach' is inspired by Devane's own love of elephants, her teaching career and her own children. The main character is inspired by Devane at a young age – very shy and reserved – to show young kids that it's okay to be that way and still try something new. With vibrant red hair, the main character shows readers it's fun to embrace what makes you 'you.' Kids and even adults judge people, or in this case, animals, before getting to know them. Sometimes, they just need to give everyone a chance. You can purchase your copy of Elephant Beach here on Amazon or on Barnes and Noble. About Christine Devane: Christine Devane grew up in North Andover, Massachusetts, and graduated from Merrimack College in 2006 with a degree in English and a minor in Elementary Education. She went on to earn her master's in Elementary Education from Merrimack in 2008. Over the next 13 years, Christine taught at St. Augustine Elementary in Andover and Plympton Elementary in Waltham. She now lives in Wilmington with her husband, John, their three children—Joey, Nick, and Adeline—and their dog, Sophie. Christine has also volunteered and taught English in Costa Rica, and she is an active member of the SCBWI, regularly attending conferences in New York City and Springfield.
